Call the script “backup_daily.cmd” and run it on weekdays. You don’t have to run it each day; you can run it only on saturdays or every other day; you decide. It will save data in the following folders:
1_Monday
2_Tuesday
3_Wednesday
4_Thursday
5_Friday
6_Saturday
7_Sunday
Each time the script is run, the appropriate weekday folder will be overwritten.
Note: You will need a longer term backup job as well, as after 1 week you can no longer restore files you deleted more than a week ago.
